Can Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment Bring Back The Vision?
My wife is nearly completely blind from diabetic retinopathy. She had vitrectomy and lense replacement on both eyes, but they could not stop the bleeding into the eyes afterward, although they said the treatments they performed would restore vision. Would hydrogen peroxide treatments do any good?

Dear sir i can understand your concern.
i am very sorry about your mom condition.
there are many treatments for diabetic retinopathy
1.laser
2.intraocular injection of avastin
3.partial vitrectomy with silicone implantation.
there is nothing like hydrogen peroxide treatment for retinopathy
in fact hydrogen peroxide will increase the oxidation make diabetes more worsen.
the only use of hydrogen peroxide is like an antiseptic to clean infected wounds.
